Waitrose

With a history of more than a hundred years, and more than 240 stores throughout the UK, Waitrose is one of the most recognised food retailing names in the UK.

From its very first shop in Acton Hill, West London, in 1904, Waitrose has come a long way, and now operates in most of the major towns and cities in the United Kingdom, with over hundreds of suppliers, tens of thousands of products, and with a staff of more than 37,000.

Now, with the advent of online shopping, Waitrose is making its name in online retail too, and offers a real alternative to other online stores, such as Tesco, which has previously been dominant in the grocery sector for several years.

Even though Waitrose customers are often looking for the best in grocery quality, Waitrose is serious about corporate responsibility, and concerns regarding the environment, and ethical-trading practices, also remain important to Waitrose.

However, while continuing to ensure that Waitrose products are of the highest quality, Waitrose still offers better value for money than many other similar types of grocery store. As many consumers all too often find with other retailers, going cheap can sometimes be more costly than they planned.

Much more than just an online version of your local Waitrose, the Waitrose Online Store is a one-stop shop for just about anything you can think of, including all the finest of wines, recipe ideas, kitchen goods and lots more.

Here are just some of the great products and services you'll find at the new Waitrose UK website:

Home & garden: * Lighting and Alarms * Tableware * Barbeque Equipment * Water Filters * Cleaning Products * Home accessories * Dishwashing Accessories * Food Hampers * Garden Products
